The Sexual Revolution and Children How the Left Took Things Too Far

[kohmelo]

Der Spiegelin artikkeli vuoden 1968 sukupolvesta ja seksuaalivallankumouksesta ja siitä kuinka asioita vietiin aivan liian pitkälle.

Berliiniläisessä Rote Freiheit iltapäiväkerhossa opetettiin 8 - 14 vuotiaille Vietnamin tilanteesta, katutappelua ja seksiä. (taitaa katolliset lapsirakatajat jäädä toiseksi...)

The Sexual Revolution and Children
How the Left Took Things Too Far

Germany's left has its own tales of abuse. One of the goals of the German 1968 movement was the sexual liberation of children. For some, this meant overcoming all sexual inhibitions, creating a climate in which even pedophilia was considered progressive.

In the spring of 1970, Ursula Besser found an unfamiliar briefcase in front of her apartment door. It wasn't that unusual, in those days, for people to leave things at her door or drop smaller items into her letter slot. She was, after all, a member of the Berlin state parliament for the conservative Christian Democrats. Sometimes Besser called the police to examine a suspicious package; she was careful to always apologize to the neighbors for the commotion.

The students had proclaimed a revolution, and Besser, the widow of an officer, belonged to those forces in the city that were sharply opposed to the radical changes of the day. Three years earlier, when she was a newly elected member of the Berlin state parliament, the CDU had appointed Besser, a Ph.D. in philology, to the education committee. She quickly acquired a reputation for being both direct and combative.

The briefcase contained a stack of paper -- the typewritten daily reports on educational work at an after-school center in Berlin's Kreuzberg neighborhood, where up to 15 children aged 8 to 14 were taken care of during the afternoon. The first report was dated Aug. 13, 1969, and the last one was written on Jan. 14, 1970.
